yep, those politically aware , but what percentage of the general population could pick you /or any other council member out of a police line up , and know you well enough to stop you on the market and give you an opinion especially when the "list" may contain names from out of the area , its unlikely anyone apart from "the gang of 400" know anything about these people . Surely you would want to know the local folks opinions of potential outsiders before selecting one .
